Good Product
No issues with function or feeding, does what it's supposed to. Doesn't cost as much as factory Springfield magazines, and from personal experience and reviews better quality than other manufacturers.

Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Good Mags
Needed a bit of adjustments to keep the base plates from sliding out under recoil, and a few stoppages from round catching the front lip, but I'll chalk it up towards break in period. Well update if needed
not bad mags
I've bought 2 of the 5 packs and so far have only a problem with one follower tilting. Too bad these are the only reliable mags for the M14.
Great Mag/Very poor packing by Brownells
The quality looks equal to my Springfield, so 5 stars. But my order came beat up from the shipping. Nine 20 rd mags in a thin lightly padded plastic bag sent through FedEx and then USPS. The bag had holes and tears all over from the mag edges. Each mag had similar markings from the other mag's corners. These were loose in the bag, not even tightly sealed, so the mags just banged around. Very poor judgement in the shipping dept. I would not order again just because of the poor shipping.
Won't fit MilSpec
I bought 2 of these to try out. I know checkmate was providing mags to the Military. They are very well made and excellent quality. I have 2 M1A's a Milspec receiver M14 and a Springfield SOCOM 16. These fit great in the SOCOM, tight and snug no play. The feed like a dream, no issues. But they would not even seat in MIlspec M14? I have used USGI up to this point in both rifles. I finally had to shorten the latch lug about 1/8"or more for the mag latch to grab it. I was suprised. This is the only issue I have had with these. I would buy a ton if it weren't for this.
Works like it should
Used one of these 5rnd sporter mags for Elk hunting last year. Sits almost flush with the rifle stock. Can be tricky to get out. You need to load 5rnds into the mag an push it out from the chamber, down. Other than that, its a great, quality magazine.
